A conscious engagement with nature — the rhythms of the land and music, people and place, inform the work of Ancheta, it is deeply reflective of space, time, the changes within nature, and the journeys of people through the world. There is a great quiet energy at work here, but there is also a glimpse of the transitory reality of life. At first glance, his works appear to be similar to typical traditional visual stories mirrored in turn of the century art. They are about peasant life against a background of rural landscapes, about war memories, festivals and the delights of youth.
